Joliet Doubles Leagues

Brett, are you suggesting separate A-tier tournaments at each location?  I agree...that would be awesome.  For a moment I thought you meant one tournament playing courses in each of those places....I think I'm just really tired :-P.

That is exactly what i'm suggesting. 3 separate A-Tiers. Joliet, Peoria, Rockford. It would also be awesome to see the Homie become an A-Tier as well. It's possible. If every PDGA member in Illinois bought a CFR disc for $20 and the local club supported the event it would easily fund 3 A-Tier events.

Another idea i'd like to run by Illinois PDGA members running a league. A $1.00 league tax that would be used to support such events. Chuck Kennedy has said MN does this to support their events. That $ adds up in a hurry.

Good Idea brett... Jay town just doesnt have enough players that step up and take leadership... when I travel to other states to play tourneys one thing i notice is that the whole area is working together to run events.. In IL there are so many different clubs and not many of them work together... In IL you have Discontinuum, Fox valley, red roc, jay town, etc etc.. In the st. Louis area they have one club with almost 400 members that work together.... If we all worked together, IL could be a hot spot for disc golf... We have the course, we have the players,, we just need the organization....

A couple of changes for the Jtown doubles league:
18 hole courses are going to be capped at 72 players
Long courses (Joliet/Mokena) will have 5:30pm starts.

Last night we played two times around 12 holes at Knoch Knolls in Naperville. Start was prompt at 6:00pm, but with the number of players we didn't finish until 8:45 or so.

First of all, its J-Town, not Jay-Town.  We have different clubs because we are in different areas- St. Louis is 1 city which is why they have 1 club. 

Not sure if you noticed at Sinnissippi, but there were people from many different clubs helping out.  I would say that that qualifies as working together.

Posted on jolietdiscgolf.com:
Starting May 28, J-Town Doubles League will start at 5:30 pm for the remainder of the year, except September when we have a few 5:15 starts. Please pass this on to anyone you know that plays the league. Sorry for the inconvenience, but our league is getting to big for 6:00 pm starts.

We are also capping the players as follows:
72 - 18 hole course,
96 - 24 hole course
108 - 27 hole course.

Thanks,
Jesse

Dave Nelson, Josh, & I got a chance to play Joliet League last night. Any league that requires filling out registration cards is pretty big. Very well ran and I like the format with Adv/Pro and Am divisions separated and competing in separate pools.
